The Arabs who buried their daughters alive in pre Islamic days were now the advocates of love and compassion. Allah took mercy on them and accepted them as the best of all people. Their Master was the greatest teacher of all, teaching not only the highest form of morality but also the most sublime acts of devotion to Allah SubhanahuWata’Ala . One of these acts of devotion is one with which this book is mainly focused on i.e. Moon sighting & Thuboote Hilal to start the Fast of Ramadhaan, Eidain, Hajj etc. The Master began the fasting month according to Shar’i principles and this is the that we should all try to ﺹ ا و one practice of the Prophet emulate so that we can please Allah SubhanahuWata’Ala and gain nearness to him. “... We Sent Thee Not (oh Mohammad), but as a Mercy for all creatures” (Holy Qur'an, 21:107) 3 Al –IMAAN َْ ِِ اَُْل َاع ا َوَ َ ََ ارك ﺡََ ( ﺹق ا) “He who obeys The Messenger, obeys Allah; But if any turn away, We have not sent thee To watch over Their (evil deeds) .” (Holy Qur’an, 4:80) ﺹ ا و We believe in the Prophet is to believe in Allah ﺹ ا و Believing in the Prophet SubbhanahuWata’Ala. and Allah is to do ﺹ ا و The meaning of Iman in the Prophet .commanded and practised ﺹ ا و what he we believe in what is in ﺹ ا و Because we believe in the Prophet commanded the Muslims to ﺹ ا و The Quraan and Sunnah. He this ,( ﺏَُمْ ِْ) follow none other than him and his methods includes not to follow the method of moon sighting (specifically of the Jews and Christians) to start and end the month. We believe that .is the teacher and explainer of the Deen of Islam ﺹ ا و he The practice of Deen depends on what last Prophet of Allah SubbhanahuWata’Ala said and did by ‘ Wahi’ (i.e. The Quraan & Sunnah). That was the way of Islam and still is! strictly practised it and that is the Islam ر ا ’His companions we all believe. You will read in this book about the moon sighting method to start .said and did ﺹ ا و the month and exactly what the Prophet and our ر ا You will also read exactly what the Sahaabah 4 honourable personalities commented and followed. The personalities are those in whom we trust and know about! Such as Darul Ifta Riyadh, wazaratul Awqaf kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Shaikhul Haramain Al sharifain, Darul Ifta Deoband, Maulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi, Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi , Maulana Ahmed Razakhan and others . ﺹ ا و We believe them in what they follow the way of Prophet All these we will read in this book Insha Allah. Islam didn`t conditioned theoretically (hypothetically) calculated new moon conjunction and it`s sighting possibility to see the moon for start the new month. This calculation is not new! It was practised by Jews against prophetical unconditioned moon sighting practice in 358ce before Islam depending on the calculation theory of Metonic philosophy (431BC) by Hilal 2 nd , the Great Rabi of Baitul Moqaddas. 5 CONTENTS No TOPIC PAGE An outline on some of the topics discussed in 1 13 this book 2 Foreword 15 The Need to Plan Islamic Dates and the Method 3 20 of doing so 4 Jeudo Christian Lunar Calendar 22 and the practise ﺹ ا و Islam, The Messenger 5 22 of the Jews and Christians A Prophecy Relating to the Beginning and End of 6 25 Islam 7 Islam and the History of Astronomy 26 15 th Century Hijrah – Lunar Dates and the Latest 8 27 Research 9 Islam or the Obvious (Self-evident) 36 The Research of a Muslim Astronomer, A.H. 10 39 Sultan The Basic Principles and Beliefs of Islam and 11 39 Scientific Reasoning and ر ا Mufti Rasheed Ahmad Ludhyanwi 12 41 Astronomy The Theoretical Calculations of Astronomy and 13 43 the Opinions of Experts Ulama of Makkah & Haram: Sheikh Dr.Saeed ‘Inaayatullah Makki , 14 45 Sheikh Muhammad Makki Ustaz of Haram , Sheikh Abdul Hafeez Makki Local Moon Sighting and the Overcast Weather 15 47 of Britain and رﺡ ا Mufti Rashid Ahmad Ludhyanwi 16 53 Moon-sighting Decisions in Saudi Arabia. 6 In Establishing the New Moon is it the Islamic 17 29 th day or the one based on Calculations of 54 Astronomy that is Considered?

Gurdaspur (Pb.) INDIA Printed at : Fazl-e-Umar Printing Press, Qadian ISBN : 978-81-7912-257-0 FOREWORD This is a time when the darkness of materialism has overspread the entire face of the earth and obscured people’s vision. Many there are who profess faith but are deprived of its true sweetness and strength. They are unaware of the One Living, Omnipresent God. For the benefit of seekers after truth, therefore, I present an abridged version of the teaching of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement as laid down in his book Kashti-Nuh (lit. Noah’s Ark) which he wrote to save men from the current deluge of irreligion and materialism. This book was intended mainly for the members of the Ahmadiyya Community but Muslims in general have also been addressed in it. The book is a torch of guidance through which every Muslim, nay every man with a craving for truth and spirituality, can rekindle his inner lamp and illuminate his heart. The present abridgement is an English rendering of the Founder’s own sacred words and, therefore, is replete with all the blessings that descend from heaven on the heart of a holy person.

It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.
